"I was just sad, and sick to my stomach that a little kid could actually do something like that," nail salon employee Tuan Tran said. "That's just not right, you know?"

The video shows what happened just before closing time at 6 p.m.

In the video, the boy took a purse from a locker in the break room, then ran around the corner to empty it out. He shoved $900 in his pocket – money the employee just got from cashing her paycheck the day before.

"She was just devastated," Tran said. "She worked so hard, and then to have your money taken in just a blink of an eye. It was just sad."
